WHEN INSTALLING OR MOVING

THE SAW

AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Usethe saw in

a dry, indoor place protected from rain. Keep work area

well lighted.

To avoid injury from unexpected saw movement:

•Put the saw on a firm level surface where there is

plenty of room for handling and properly supporting

lhe workpiece.

•Support the saw so the table is level andthe saw does

not rock,

Bolt tile saw to the floor or work surface if it tends to

slip, walk, or slide during operations like cutting long,

heavy boards.

Tu rn saw off and unplug cord before moving the saw.

To avoid injury or death from electrical shock:

GROUND THE SAW. This saw has an approved 3-

conductor cord and a 3-prong grounding type plug.

Use only 3-wire grounded outlets rated 120 volts, 15

amperes (amps). The green conductor in the cord is

the grounding wire. To avoid electrocution, NEVER

connect the green wire to a live terminal.

• Make sure your fingers do not touch the plug's metal

prongs when plugging or unplugging the saw.

To avoid back injury, get help or use recommended

casters when you need to move the saw. Always get

help il you need to lilt the saw.

NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur

if the tool tips or you accidentally hit the cutting tool. Do

not store anything above or near the tool where anyone

might stand on the tool to reach them.

BEFORE EACH USE:

Inspect your saw.

DISCONNECTTHE SAW. To avoid injury from acciden-

tal starting, unplug the saw, turn the switch off and

remove the switch key before changing the setup, re-

moving covers, guards, blade or sanding belt.

CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Check for:

• alignment of moving parts,

•binding of moving parts,

w

broken parts,

stable mounting, and

any other conditions that may affect the way the saw

works

If any part is missing, bent, or broken in any way, or any

electrical parts don't work properly, turn the saw oil and

unplug the saw. REPLACE damaged, missing, or failed

parts before using the saw again.

MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep the saw clean

for best and safest performance. Follow inslructions for

lubricating.

REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES from

tool before turning it on.

To avoid injury from jams, slips or thrown pieces or

broken blades:

• Use of right blade size, style and cutting speed forthe

material and the type of cutting you plan to do.

USE ONLY RECOMMENDEDACCESSORIES. (See

page 36.) Consult this Owner's manual for recom-

mended accessories. Follow the instructions that

come with the accessories. The use of improper

accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.

Make sure lhe blade teeth point downward, toward

the table.

Make sure the blade guides and thrust bearings are

properly adjusted.

• Make sure the blade or sanding belt tension is prop-

erly adjusted.

• Before sanding, adjust the sanding platento clearfhe

table by no more than !/8 of an inch

• Make sure the bevel clamp is tight and no parts have

excessive play.

To avoid accidental blade contact, minimize blade

breakage and provide maximum blade suppo_l, al-

ways adjust fhe upper blade guide and blade guard to

just clear the workpiece.

KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and

benches invite accidents. Floor must not be slippery.

To avoid burns or other fire damage, never use ;he saw

near flammable liquids, vapors or gases.

Plan ahead to protect your eyes, hands,

face and ears.

KNOW YOUR SAW. Read and understand the owner's

manual and labels affixed to the tool. Learn its applica-

tion and limitations as well as the specific potential

hazards peculiar to this tool.

To avoid injury from accidental contact with moving

parts, don't do layout, assembly, or set up work on the

saw while any parts are moving.

AVOIDACCIDENTALSTARTING. Make sure switch is

"OFF" before plugging saw into a power outlet.

Plan your work.

• USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force tool or attach-

ment to do a job it was not designed to do.

• Use model 113.248211 to cut and sand only wood,

wood like products, and plastics.

ICAUTION: To avoid blade breakage, fire or other

damage to the saw, NEVER use model 113.248211

to cut metals.

• Use model 113.248321 to cut and sand only wood,

wood like products, plastics and non-ferrous metals.

CAUTION: Models 113.248321 is NOT designed

for cutting or sanding ferrous metals like iron or

steel. When cutting or sanding non-ferrous met-

als (brass, copper and aluminum, etc.), metal

shavings can react with wood dust and start afire.

To avoid this:

•Disconnect any type of dust collecting hose

from the saw.

•Remove all traces of wood dust from inside the

saw.

• Remove all metal shavings from inside the saw

before sawing wood again.

Dress for safety.

WEAR YOUR

Any power saw can throw foreign objects into the eyes.

This can cause permanenl eye damage. Wear safety

goggles (not glasses) that comply with ANSI Z87.1

(shown on package). Everyday eyeglasses have only

impact resistant lenses. They are not safety glasses.

Safety goggles are available at Sears retail catalog

stores. Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI

Z87.1 could seriously hurt you when they break.

o Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jew-

elry (rings, wrist watches). They can get caught and

draw you into moving parts.

•Wearnonslip footwear.

•Tie backlong hair.

Roll long sleeves above the elbow.

Noise levels vary widely. To avoid possible hearing

damage, wear ear plugs or muffs when using saw for

hours at a time.

For dusty operations, weara dust mask along with the

safety goggles.

Inspect your workpiece.

Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the

part of the workpiece to be cut.

Use extra caution with large, very small or awkward

workpleces:

•Use extra supports (tables, saw horses, blocks, etc.)

for any workpieces large enough to tip when not held

down to the table lop.

NEVER use another person as a subslitule for a tab!e

extension, or as additional support for a workpiece

thai is longer or wider than the basic saw table, orto

help feed, support or pull the workpiece.

When cutting irregularly shaped workpieces, plan

your work so it will not pinch the blade. A piece of

molding, for example, must lay flat or be held by a

fixture or jig thal will not lel it twist, rock or slip while

being cut.

Properly support round material such as dowel rods,

or tubing. They have a tendency to roll during a cut,

causing the blade to "bite". To avoid this, always use

a"V" b!ock or clamp the work to the miter gage.

Cut only one workpiece at a time.

• CleareverythingexcepttheWorkpieceand related

support devices off the table before turning the saw

013.

Plan the way you will hold the workpiece from start

to finish.

Do not hand hold pieces so small that your fingers will go

under the blade guard. Use jigs or fixtures to hold the

work and keep your hands away from the blade.

SECURE WORK. Use clamps to hold work when

practical. It's often safer than using you r hand, and flees

both hands to operate the toot.

Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a

sudden slip could cause fingers or hand to move into the

blade or sanding surface.

DON'T OVERREACH. Keep good footing and balance.

WHENEVER SAW IS RUNNING.

WARNING: Don't let familiarity (gained from fre-

quent use of your band saw) cause a careless

mistake. A careless fraction of a second is enough

to cause a severe Injury.

Before starting your cut, watch the saw while it runs. If

it makes an unfamiliar noise or vibrates a lot, stop

immediately. Turn the saw off. Unplug the saw. Do not

restart until finding and correcting the problem.

KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. Keep all visitors a safe

distance from the saw. Make sure bystanders are clear

of the saw and workpiece.

DON'T FORCE TOOL It will do the job better and safer

at its designed rate. Feed the workpiece into the saw

blade only fast enough to let it cut without bogging down

or binding.

Before freeing anY jammed material:

•Tum switch "OFF".

•Remove switch key.

•Unplug the saw.

•Wait for all moving parts to stop.

When backing up theworkpiece, the blade may bind

in the kerf (cut). This is usually caused by sawdust

clog glng up t he kerr or because the blade comes out

of the guides, if this happens:

• Turn switch "'OFF".

Remove switch key.

Unplug saw.

Wait for all moving parts to stop.

Remove band saw cover.

Stick flat blade screwdriver or wedge into the kerl.

Turn the upper wheel by hand while backing up the

workpiece.

Before removing loose pieces from the table, turn saw

off and wait for all moving parts to stop.

BEFORE LEAVING THE SAW:

Wait for all moving parts to stop.

Makeworkshop child-proof. Lockthe shop, Disconnect

master switches. Remove the yellow switch key. Store

it away from children and others not qualified to use the

tool.

MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION

NOTICE: To avoid motor damage this motor should

be blown out or vacuumed frequently to keep sew-

dust from Interfering with normal motor ventilation.

1. This tool should be connected to a 120v, 15 amp

branch circuit with a 15 amp fuse or circuit breaker.

Faiiure to use the proper size fuse cap, resui_ in

damage to the motor.

2. If the motor faUs to start, turn the power switch to the

"OFF" position immediately. UNPLUG THE TOOL.

Checkthe saw bladeto make sure it turns freely. Ifthe

blade is free, try to start the motor again. If the motor

stilldoes not start, refer to the "Motor Troubleshooting

Chart."

3. If the motor suddenly stalls while cutting wood, turn

the power switch off, unplug the tool, and free the

blade from the wood. The motor may now be re-

started and the cut finished.

4. Frequent "b!owing" of fuses or tripping of circuit

breakers may result if:

a. MOTOR IS OVERLOADED - Overloading can

occur if you teed too rapidly.

b. LOW VOLTAGE - Although the motor is designed

for operation on the voltage and frequency speci-

fied on the motor nameplate, normal loads will be

handled safely on voltages not more than 10%

above or below the nameplate voltage. Heavy

loads, however, require voltage at motor terminals

equals the voltage specified on nameplate.

5. Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or incor-

rect connections, overload, reduced input voltage

(such as small size wire in the supply circuit) or to

overly long supply circuit wire. AM,ays check the

connections, the load and the supply circuit whenever

motor fails to perform satisfactorily. Check wire size

and length with the Wire Size Chart below.

WIRE SIZES

The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of

power. To keep this to a minimum and to prevent

overheating and motor burn-out, use the table below to

determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.) extension

cord. Use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-

prong grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles

which accepts the tools plug.

CAUTION: For circuits that are farther away from

electrical service box, the wire size must be In-

creased proportionately In order to deliver ample

voltage to the saw motor.

• Roll long sleeves above the elbow.

•Noise levels vary widely. To avoid possible hearing

damage, wear ear plugs or muffs when using saw for

hours at a time.

•Fordusty operations, wear adust mask alongwith the

safety goggles.

Inspect your workpiece.

Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects inthe part

of the workpiece to be cut.

Use extra caution with large, very small or awkward

workpieces:

- Use extra supports (tables, saw horses, blocks,

etc.) for any workpieces large enough to tip when

not held down to the table top.

NEVER use another person as a substitute for a

table extension, or as additional support for a

workpiece that is longer or wider than the basic

saw table, or to help feed, support or pull the

workpiece.

When cutting irregularly shaped workpieces, plan

your work so it will not pinch the blade. A piece of

molding, for example, must lay flat or be held by a

fixture o rjig that will not let it twist, rock or slip while

being cut.

Properly support round material such as dowel

rods, or tubing. They have a tendencyto roll during

a cut, causing the blade to "bite". To avoid this,

always use a '_/" block or clamp the work to the

miter gage.

•Cut only one workpiece at a time.

•Clear everything exceptthe workpiece and related

support devices off the table before turning the saw

on.

Plan the way you will hold the workpiece from start

to finish.

Do not hand hold pieces so small that your fingers will

go under the blade guard. Use jigs or fixtures to hold

the work and keep your hands away from the blade.

SECURE WORK. Use clamps to hold work when

practical. It's often safer than using your hand, and

frees both hands to operate the tool.

29

Avoidawkward operations and hand positions where

asudden slipcould cause fingers orhandto move into

the blade or sanding surface.

DONq" OVERREACH. Keep good tooting and bal-

ance.

WHENEVER SAW IS RUNNING.

WARNING: Don't let familiarity (gained from fre-

quent use of your band saw) cause a careless

mistake. A careless fraction of a second isenough

to cause a severe Injury.

Before starting your cut, watch the saw while it runs. It

it makes an unfamiliar noise or vibrates a lot, stop

immediately. Turn the saw off. Unplug the saw. Do not

restart until finding and correcting the problem.

KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. Keep all visitors a safe

distancefrom the saw. Make sure bystanders are clear

of the saw and workpiece.

DON'T FORCE TOOL It will do the job betler and safer

at its designed rate. Feed the workpiece into the saw

blade only fast enough to let it cut withoutbogging down

or binding.

Before freeing any jammed material:

•Turn switch "OFF".

• Remove switch key.

•Unplug the saw.

•Wait for all moving parts to stop.

When backing up theworkpiece, the blade may bind

In the kerr (cut). This Is usually caused by sawdust

clogging up the ke rf or because the blade comes out

of the guides. If this happens:

• Turn switch "OFF".

•Remove switch key.

• Unplug saw.

•Wait for all moving parts to siop.

• Remove band saw cover.

•Stick flat blade screwdriver or wedge into the kerf.

• "rum the upper wheel by hand while backing up the

workpiece.

Before removing loose pieces from the table, turn saw

off and wait for all moving parts to stop.

BEFORE LEAVING THE SAW:

Wait for all moving parts to stop.

Makeworkshopchild-proof. Lockthe shop. Disconnecl

master switches. Remove the yellow switch key. Store

it away from children and others not qualified to use the

tool.

CAUTION: For your safety, comply with all the I

safety instructions on pages 2- 5 before using the I

band saw.

A band saw is basically a "curve cutting" machine. It

is not capable of doing inside cutting.

Your Craftsman Band Saw is not only capable of the

usual band saw operations, but it can be converted

into a sander as well. You can finish wood, certain

compositions and plastics.

It is also used for straight-line cutting operations

such as crosscutting, ripping, mitering, beveling,

compound cutting, and resawing.

CIRCLE CUTTING

1. Adjust the upper guides to just clear the work-

piece.

2. Use both hands while feeding the work into the

blade. Hold the workpiece firmly against the

table. Use gentle pressure, and do not force the

work, but allow the blade to cut.

3. The smallest diameter that can be cut out is

determined by the width of the blade. For

example, a 1/4-inch wide blade will cut a mini-

mum diameter of approximately 1-1/2-inch (see

chart).

ADJUSTING BAND SAW BEVEL TRAVEL

If the band saw will not hold its position when at a

bevel angle, and before the bevel lock is locked, or if

it is difficult to change the bevel angle, an adjustment

is necessary to correct the force required to bevel

the band saw.

To adjust the force required to bevel the band saw,

locate the three (3) eapscrews holding the frame to

the motor mount. The capscrews are located in the

recessed area behind the hub of the lower wheel at

the 2o'c lock, 6 o'clock, and 10 o'clock positions. Use

a 3/16-inch hexagonal "L" wrench that has a 4-inch

leg, reach between the spokes of the lower wheel to

the capscrews. Adjust the capscrews equally until

the bevel action is smooth and the saw will held its

position before tt_e beret lock is locked.

ADJUSTING THE UPPER BLADE GUIDE

TRAVEL

If the upper guide bar will not move up and down

easily or falls when the lock knob is loosened, the

following adjustment should be performed

I. Remove the Guide Bar Lock Knob and the
